Legal Question in Business Law in District of Columbia

Corporation and Individual in a Joint Venture

How can I obtain a copy of a joint venture agreement without the other party knowing that I lost the contract agreement? I abandoned the project and will be sought for the debt and losses the corporation accrued in the JV which we both agreed of being responsible for 50/50. Is there such of notices or letter that I can send to the corporation for proof of liability on my part to have them produce the contract agreement and that if the contract is not obtainable with in certain amount of days that any business relationships or agreement between the corporation and I are non void or no liability can not be sought after, something like that. Sorry for not knowing the legal terms.

Re: Corporation and Individual in a Joint Venture

Whether or not you could obtain a copy of this contract from this corporation after making a demand to have it produced would in no way affect your possible liability for having breached the contract nor its validity as an enforceable legal instrument.

If you agreed to it terms, voluntarily

signed it, and for some reason may have now breached it, you will not avoid responsibility by merely being unable to obtain a copy of it.
